Jaylifted Shines on "Sooner Than Later"

Chicago-based MC, Jaylifted, is going to make it "Sooner Than Later". In his brand new music video, directed by Matt Arnold of M9 Visuals, Lifted takes us to the outskirts of LA. "Sooner Than Later" is the debut single off Jaylifted's upcoming project.

As Lifted states, "I named it Sooner Than Later because the way things have been going, I know it's only a matter of time before I reach where I always wanted to be. The concept was taking everything that i've been through over the past year and making it all into one project that flowed and told my story of who I am. I feel like I put so much time into music and gave up so much since I've been on this journey, calling it sooner than later had to be the title. From giving up my house to save more money for music, I tried to put everything into this one. I wanted people to know i have my own sound but also could do anything if I want to. It was really time I let everyone know that I was here to stay and that was the mindset behind this project. There's a lot of hate and bullshit in the music game and sometimes they just want to see you flop, so I wanted to show my best work with this being my 5th project".

Catch Jaylifted on the 3rd Annual OTG "Give Back Chicago" concert at Reggies Chicago alongside Sir the Baptist, Logan & more.

Urban-Folk Songstress Mahogany Marie Releases "Kickback"


Atlanta-based urban folk Songstess Mahogany Marie has been making some noise over the past couple years. After a brief break to write her new project, Mahogany Marie is making yet another statement with her latest song "Kickback". As per usual, Marie brings real music back to the pop/R&B/folk genres and tackles a powerful topic through the vehicle of her music.

Kickback is inspired by a relationship between and a man and woman in which the woman is the bread winner because of extra hard economic times. As Marie states, "He [the man] is very insecure because of his circumstance. The song is an open love letter to men saying that us women have their back and they can relax, kickback and grow through all life's ups and downs because we truly love them". Mahogany Marie will be live in Atlanta at the Red Clay Theatre as a part of an Eddie Owens Presents showcase on October 25th. More coming very soon!!

Cody Tyler Drops Visual for Hit "Pulp Fiction"

Cody Tyler just released the awaited visual for his hit single "Pulp Fiction". Take a look into Cody's life as he lets you into his world. Battling depression from an early age and spending some time in a rehabilitation institute, Cody is sick of the struggle and battle. He looks to express this when writing this record. Life is good and he wants to express this when listening to this song. Cody wrote the hook immediately after hearing the beat and wrote 6 verses following that (choosing the best two). He now follows up the audio release with the Au Glass Directed video. Using some top locations around the City of Angels, Cody and Au Glass bring the song to life.

 Hailing from Florida, the now Los Angeles-based MC is currently prepping his upcoming project, but decided to drop the track for your (end of) Summer listening pleasure. Cody has a story that needs to be heard. And one that can help many other artists and people that listen to his music. You can catch Cody on a stage near you this Summer if you're in LA, including on November 15th at Dragonfly Hollywood.

42oh Is Coming "Just For Your Love" 

42oH just packed up his car and drove across the country from Missouri to California to pursue his dreams. Now officially a California resident, he has recently teamed up with a powerful management/production team out of Los Angeles to take things next level. After releasing his latest release "Rewrite" just before making the move, 42oH marks his first official Cali release with "Just For Your Love".

"Just For Your Love" is a lyrical love story. While "Rewrite" discussed the problems with the Missouri music scene and reasons for 42oH's escape, he now brings 'Cali Love' as he hits the sun out West. Love is one of the most powerful forces in the world...and as long as things are open and honest, it can be one of the best things for people. As 42oH states, "I just want people to realize that even if they have a bad day at the office or personal turmoil, everyone can find love which can overpower all of that". Check out the song below and more coming from him very soon. Plus, catch him on November 15th at Dragonfly Hollywood in LA!!

Urban hymnist Sir the Baptist, along with his #chuchpeople movement, just dropped the latest video for "(Cleflo) Almighty Dollar" featuring Twista, Jack Rvd, and Lili K. Fresh off the release of his highly successful debut single "Raise Hell", his second offering takes aim at prosperity gospel evangelists and their deceptive theology, making direct reference to the controversial pastor who rallied his followers to crowd-fund a $65 million private jet. The R&B/soul crooner (and occasional rapper) typically borrows from hip-hop and gospel traditions, but credits the African chants on Paul Simon's Graceland album as the original inspiration for his latest single.

Prosperity gospel and fraudulent evangelists are currently hot topics of discussion, most recently satirized by comedian John Oliver on HBO's Last Week Tonight. Even Oprah Winfrey's new scripted series Greenleaf will touch on the highly controversial themes surrounding megachurch communities. Now with "Creflo 'Almighty' Dollar", Sir offers his own poignant commentary on the matter.

"Cleflo 'Almighty' Dollar" serves as the second single for Sir's forthcoming debut full-length PK: PREACHER'S KID.

Raised by a pastor in Chicago’s historic Bronzeville neighborhood (aka Jazz Heaven), Sir was born a “church boy” and evolved into a spiritually-attuned rebel. His music is a game-changing fusion of the secular and sacred – with a message that’s refreshingly progressive, delightfully innovative, and sometimes unapologetically necessary for today’s cultural climate. In the same spirit Ray Charles brought gospel influence into the pop world with “I Got A Woman”, Madonna with “Like A Prayer”, and Kanye West with “Jesus Walks” -- Sir the Baptist takes the concept of "twisted faith" to a new level.

In conjunction with a show-stopping performance at The BET Experience, Sir's debut video single “Raise Hell” premiered with BET.com in June 2015, and has since been spotlighted by LA Weekly, Karen Civil, Bossip, Singersroom, and FakeShoreDrive. Earlier this summer, fans heard Sir the Baptist on Chance the Rapper and The Social Experiment’s SURF album, alongside King Louie and Quavo of Migos on the track “Familiar”. Sir has performed with the Joffrey Ballet and Travis Scott, and recorded with legends such as Frank Sinatra Jr. and composer/orchestrator Lee Musiker (Tony Bennett, Jerry Lewis).
